# Subagent Template — Deploy Preflight & Checklist Generation

Read deploy reference files and distill deployment-specific rules into `deploy-checklist.md`. This is the main agent's ONLY source of deploy rules.

## Critical Rules

- ⛔ Do NOT invoke ANY skills, run `az` commands, or modify IaC/app code. Read-only sub-agent.
- ⛔ Do NOT read `deploy-schemas.ts` or `error-classification.md` — main agent reads those on-demand.

## Input (provided by caller)

| Field | Source |
|-------|--------|
| `prepare-plan.json` content | services[], naming, region, costEstimate, deploymentVariables |
| `scaffold-manifest.json` content | deployCommand, validationResult, files[] |
| `context.json` content | azure.subscriptionId, subscriptionName, resourceGroup, sessionId, intent |
| `prereq-output.json` content | buildRequirements, warnings[], components[] |
| Session folder path + working directory | Required |

## Output

| Artifact | Location |
|----------|----------|
| `deploy-checklist.md` | Session folder |
| `deploy-result.json` skeleton (if missing) | Session folder |
| Summary (≤300 tokens) | Return to caller |

## Workflow

### Step 1 — Read session artifacts + write skeleton

Read all 4 session artifacts. Extract: services[], naming, costEstimate, deployCommand, validationResult, deploymentVariables, subscriptionId, sessionId, buildRequirements, warnings[], quotaValidation.

If `deploy-result.json` missing, write skeleton with these EXACT field names (do NOT rename): `{ sessionId, subscriptionId, resourceGroupName, deploymentNames: ["app-onboard-deploy-{first 8 of sessionId}"], status: "in-progress", startedUtc, resourceIds: [], endpoints: [], healthStatus: "unknown", resourceResults: [], healingAttempts: [] }`.

### Step 2 — Read safety + blocked patterns refs

Read [deploy-safety.md](deploy-safety.md) and [blocked-patterns.md](blocked-patterns.md). Bake into checklist sections: deploy-result.json rules, blocked commands table, shell rules (sync shells, secrets persistence, no --track-status, az rest headers on Windows), 403 scope fallback (4-step procedure with real values), post-deploy tag verification, deployment operation polling (conditional: >5 resources), re-approval gates, antipatterns, artifact reconciliation.

### Step 3 — Read preflight + approval gate refs

Read [preflight-checks.md](preflight-checks.md) and [approval-gate-template.md](approval-gate-template.md).

Bake preflight into checklist: auth token check, resource name availability (real names), RBAC scope pre-check, ⛔ MANDATORY what-if command (pre-filled with real deploymentName, region, subscriptionId), RG existence check, offer restriction check (conditional: if `offerRestrictionsVerified` false AND DB services in plan).

Bake approval gate VERBATIM with real values: subscription, RG, region, service table, cost table, validation status, files list, response handlers with exact CLI commands. If F1/D1 detected, append warning.

### Step 4 — Read code-deployment + health refs

Read ONLY the code-deployment ref(s) matching the compute types in `prepare-plan.json.services[]`. **Do NOT read** references for compute types absent from the plan:
- If `App Service` or `Functions` in plan → read [code-deployment-appservice.md](code-deployment-appservice.md)
- If `Container Apps` in plan → read [code-deployment-container-apps.md](code-deployment-container-apps.md)
- If `Static Web Apps` in plan → read [code-deployment-swa.md](code-deployment-swa.md)

Bake per-service-type `## Code deploy` sections (one per compute service — do NOT merge).

Read [health-check-patterns.md](health-check-patterns.md). Bake health check section: HTTP checks (timeout 30s, 3 retries), status interpretation, Azure default page detection strings, non-HTTP resource checks, functional verification (conditional).

### Step 5 — Read conditional refs + handoff + write checklist

**Database (conditional):** If DB services in plan → read [database-post-deploy.md](database-post-deploy.md). Bake migration discovery, execution commands, PG-specific checks.

Read [../../references/handoff-protocol.md](../../references/handoff-protocol.md). Bake cleanup commands (with real rg, sessionId), orphan listing, healing summary, post-deploy recommendations, skill-based next steps, auth-aware handoff.

**Write `deploy-checklist.md`** to session folder. If it already exists, replace all content via `edit`; if not, use `create`:
```
# Deploy Checklist for {appName}
# RG: {rgName} | Sub: {subscriptionId} | Session: {sessionId}
# ⚠️ If compaction recently occurred: re-read deploy/PHASE.md Steps 6-8
```

Delete inapplicable sections (e.g., remove App Service section for Container Apps deploys).

> ⛔ **Copy `## Before handoff (Step 8)` and `## Artifact verification (Step 8 — MANDATORY)` from the template VERBATIM.** Do NOT paraphrase, merge, or weaken `⛔` markers. These sections are the compaction-safe finalization anchor — diluting them causes artifact writes to be skipped after compaction.

### Step 6 — Return summary

Return ≤300 tokens: preflight warnings, deploy command, service types, confirmation of checklist write, database migration note if applicable.
